I flew back into Canada yesterday. John has stayed until Friday. (He has to work. It will also give him more chance to see his father; he is still very ill.) We did have the weekend to do a last few things and on Saturday we went into the National Portrait gallery. We had never […]

We were so lucky to be able to arrange our trip to see our friend in France again. His holiday home is in a sleepy little village in Francescas in the south-west of France. It’s a rural farming area with the most beautiful sunflower fields… We did a couple of rides; my favourite being to […]

The summer adventure continued from Barcelona to Castelldefels, a beach town about 20 min from downtown Barcelona. It was an amazing decision after the sweaty and hot touring of the city. Again I think I booked a great hotel, one of the only ones on the beach side of the road and we had a […]

Where was I before patchy internet in the south of France…ah yes… When we lived in the UK we asked many people if they could go to three places in Europe where would it be. For most, if not all, they said you should see Barcelona. After spending a short three days there we can […]

Well, the holidays are in full swing and John and I have been in the UK and Spain so far. Unfortunately, John’s father is not particularly well so our plans did change somewhat but we have carried on knowing he is in good hands. We were in the UK for a week and were able […]

I bet you think that because the moving company is packing us up to move to Canada that I’d have been frantically clearing out on the weekend, right? Well we were but of course there were some last minute sewing projects to finish! Moyna, my lovely apparel guru, came back on Friday and I finished […]

The first week of school is finished so now I feel like summer is truly over and the autumn has begun. I flew back to the UK last week and bizarrely had trouble with my WordPress app on the iPad so was waiting to make my first post back after the summer. Magically, as all […]

Jersey has been a whirl wind of sight seeing. We started with a tour of the beach and church where Lady Fia’s parents were married. It’s always been a sore point that I couldn’t attend their wedding 10 years ago because I was in New Zealand. I vowed to see Jersey at some point after […]

We are having the most wonderful time visiting Lady Fia and Lord Isaac in Jersey. I don’t even know where to start! When we left France for Jersey we caught the ferry from St. Malo in France… It was a quick hour and twenty minutes to Jersey and the view coming in was beautiful… Lady […]

What a day! Not sure where to start… John and I got up early yesterday in Le Mans and took an hour train ride into Paris for the final stage of the Tour de France. (I’m glad the new royal baby didn’t over shadow yesterday’s events lol! Congrats Kate and Will! Closer to my Aunt […]
